The ‘MacGruber’ Revival is Not a Sick Prank and Here’s a Photo to Prove It

And Forte has shared a new photo of the core trio of actors to prove that this whole revival isn’t just some kind of elaborate joke. MacGruber Revival Cast Photo Forte shared this ne...

‘Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar’ Music Video Has Jamie Dornan Belting Out “Edgar’s Prayer”

If Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar was able to be released safely in theaters, we’re betting it would have become a sleeper comedy hit.

One such piece of pure silliness is Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan hamming it up as he gets his own ballad to sing in a breakout musical moment. Now there’s a whole music...

What were the worst movies of last year? Is that question even feasible for a year as bad — for the world, and for movies — as 2020?
